In the ever-evolving landscape of the legal profession, having reliable sources of career advice can make a world of difference. Recently, I posed a question on my column in Above The Law: who are the best people to follow for career development advice for attorneys?
I was looking for individuals who offer practical, tangible advice instead of motivational speeches and vague platitudes. I sought voices that ring authentic rather than automated, bereft of the threat of deadlines yet consistent. Thankfully, the readers answered, and, following a careful review, I am ready to share my findings.
To start we have Marco Brown, followed by Carolyn Elefant, Jason Epstein, Chris Finney, Brian Glass, and Scott Greenfield .
The list continues with Brittany Leonard, Miller Leonard, Ryan McKeen, Matt Nakajima, Steven Neff, and Scott Oliver.
Rounding up the list are Nick Pappas, Jonathan Pollard, Jeffrey Pomeranz, Brian Potts, Matt Schwartz, Shaun Sethna, and Heather Stevenson.
As the heat of 2024 approaches, events past and future are likely to churn out an overload of inflammatory, hyperbolic, and divisive rhetoric. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to cut through the noise and seek professionalism from reputable ‘voices’ that foster productivity.
